Hundreds of school children are told to jump off a listing ferry as the stricken vessel begins to sink. More than 300 people remain unaccounted for after a ferry with more than 400 passengers sank off the coast of South Korea, according to reports. At least three people have been confirmed dead; two males and a female crew member. Two of the victims are in their 20s, while the other is a teenager. http://news.sky.com/story/1243357/so...er-ferry-sinks Last edited by arista; 20-04-2014 at 05:13 PM. |

Containers, they'll be filled with some kind of supplies for the ship or perhaps even to be delivered elsewhere. That's scary.

I wonder if this is one of those old "Ro-Ro" (Roll on Roll Off) ferry's that were banned from European countries 10 years ago after the major accidents ie herald of Free Enterprise and the other one in holland.
I wonder if they are now plying their trade in Asian countries where safety laws are more relaxed.

Are they confident of suddenly finding over 300 people alive ?
This is a maritime disaster of epic proportions, there should be much more being done to try and save as many lives as possible.

It doesn't say he escaped though, it says he was rescued. He can't help if he was rescued before the kids, especially if they were trapped and he wasn't.
